The window burns to light the way back homeA light that warms no matter where they’ve gone

They’re off to find the hero of the dayBut what if they should fall by someone’s wicked way

Still the window burnsTime so slowly turnsAnd someone there is sighingKeepers of the flamesCan you feel your names?Can’t you hear your baby’s crying?Mama they try and break meStill they try and break me

S’cuse me while I tend to how I feelThese things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chairBut the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don’t want your aidBut the fist I’ve madeFor years, can’t hold or feelNo I’m not all meSo please excuse meWhile I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screamsThat everlast the nightSo build a wallBehind it crawlAnd hide until it’s lightCan’t you hear your baby’s crying now?
